More on the rainbow effect

Posted on September 21, 2008September 23, 2026 By Gwas 5 Comments on More on the rainbow effect
Dowsing

In his book “It’s Not Too Late” Hamish Miller (see our book recommendations page) takes us through his early dowsing experiences in Chapter Eleven. In one paragraph he is talking about finding bands of energy within a wide line that he has picked up with the rods. Of finding deeper qualities he says:

“I became aware that some of the lines in the band responded to a visualisation of different colours. It was the earth’s gentle way of telling us thick humans that we were of different frequencies.”

This is what we found at Runcorn Hill (now Rainbow Hill in my mind!). I think we said to each other that the changes in the bands were probably registering different frequencies. At the time Kal used the Chakra system to determine the order and correlation with the human body’s energies. Miller goes on to say of the energy line:

“…it was made up of twelve separate bands. The colour spread was a mirror image starting from the centre, but not in the normal rainbow sequence.” and “…it became apparent that the direction of energy flow, whilst remaining constant in one coloured ribbon, tended to reverse at certain times.”

Aha! Now we see why on Runcorn Hill we started by dowsing completely different colour sequences, not at all in the order of the chakras or the rainbow colours. It was only after we had started to hypothesise that the lines might be in that order that they ‘magically’ came to be in such an order.

We will now have to go back with an unformulated mind to dowse the colours again. This will see if there really was an order, or whether our self-imposed order would be found to be correct. For Miller it was random. For us it was random first time. When we formulated a theory, the colours began to emerge in that sequence according to the theory!

A warning message to us AGAIN to formulate our theories away from the site, and to try to only gather evidence whilst there. It’s so easy for the rational mind to begin to impose itself during a dowsing session, when what is really required for accurate data collection is a free mind, relaxed but intent upon an answer.

    Hi there was just surfing through the search engines looking for some new interesting material when i located this post on yahoo search. I had to write you a post to state that I actually appreciated this blog post. I simply cannot come across much top quality anymore on the online world nowadays with all the trash these days so when I do come across a beneficial article I value it. Keep up the terrific job and I am convinced this website is going to go a long ways and become extremely well known

    After further reflection – we also deduced that the malignant energies of the nearby pylon were affecting our dowsin results – which we rightly or wrongly assumed was the cause of the random results – i.e. it wasn’t just that we had formulated a hypothesis.

    Having said all that I am intrigued with the notion that we are creating our own versions of energetic patterns – as the magician who creates his own worlds – that is of note!

    I agree with what you are saying about – having an ‘open’ mind.

    However I have to throw a small spanner in the works…because when we (I) have gone to sites with predefined notions of how questions will be answered – these pre-beliefs are almost always turned on there head…

    So how does that relate to this post?
